Foam Cannon for Cleaning

[Chris216]

The difference between the $300 and $800 coatings may be that Darrell got a "ceramic liquid" coating and the $800 may be the Xpel ceramic film (similar to a wrap). The Xpel film is very pricey, I looked at a precut sheet to fit the hood of my 330i and they wanted $800 (material only)! I have applied "professional grade ceramic liquid to both of my cars and it is still holding up well after 3 years, but can be a bit fiddly to apply. Some of the new "ceramic waxes" seem to work pretty well, apply easily and not break the bank. I use the Griot's green ceramic wax.

Here's the link to their webpage, which describes Ceramic Coating in general, calls out "Xpel" explicitly and offers up the "get a quote" form. Is Xpel ONLY a film application, or can it be brushed/sprayed on? The copy on the page doesn't seem to indicate one way or another, but it doesn't sound like a film application...

Looks like they do both ceramic and the Xpel film https://midwesttinting.com/paint-protection/ . They don't say anything about paint correction prior to ceramic application. If they are doing paint correction one could almost see $800, but still expensive for a motorcycle. If they are not doing any paint correction... I would look around for other options.
